People nagging on this because it's "too fluffy." Whatevs, it's just fluffy enough and when did it become a bad thing in superhero comics to have something be lighter and not all dark and everything is awful. This was fun, I like this Babs and her dealing with college and friends and dating and the Penguin just to keep things interesting.

Was pleasantly surprised by this volume since the previous wasn't the best. I liked the art style a lot and the story arc was very engaging. 4.5/5

I like the beats this story took but I felt they were a little undercooked and ever so slightly predictable. Barbara however I unconditionally love, she's almost at Kate Bishop level for me.

The whole Son of Penguin concept is a little hokey, but this run was a lot of fun. I like the supporting characters and it's doing a lot to make Barbara Gordon's Batgirl feel relevant.
